Oh my. Maybe we will have a Govt shutdown.

Or maybe Republicons will blink??

@RonWyden
I will vote NO on a spending bill that fails to protect children at every turn and does not permanently protect Dreamers in Oregon and across the country.




@SenatorShaheen
I will vote no on the House CR. This is no way to run a government. Time to keep our promises. Congress must fund a response to the opioid epidemic, children’s health care, community health centers, end the defense sequester & fix DACA. These short-term bills hurt our country.




@PuestoLoco
John Kelly will shut government down —
“Kelly has taken an increasingly aggressive...role in the immigration negotiations, calling lawmakers & meeting with White House aides daily. He has ‘very strong [white ethnocentric] feelings’.”

of anything.

When this happened under Obama, Obama made certain military folks would not be harmed.

for the GOP or chief traitor to also do this, make sure the military families are safe, they would have to be patriots...

I am hearing is the Pubs will put forth a yearlong Military spending measure in a stand alone and a straight CR with no DACA fixes and see where the votes go.

and told them I support them and DACA! Shut it down and blame the Dems! It didn't work with the ACA repeal or the Tax Scam. It also wasn't bought by the Americans in the 90s when the GOP tried the same ploy during the shutdown during Clinton.
Call them TOMORROW!
